To meet standards for high quality of care and satisfied customers, an evaluation tool about nursing care is necessary. And, We need to evaluate our practice continuously for the improvement in quality and outcomes. This study was intended to develop an evaluation tool about nursing care in NSICU, and was progressed of 3 steps; development, content validity verification and reliability verification. Data were obtained and analysed from Feb. To April, 2000. Development process of the study was as follows A preliminary list was made item by item on the basis of clinical Experience, literature review and patients' record review. Then the standards, criteria and indicators of preliminary evaluation tool were set by 5 clinical nursing panel, and their content validity was reviewed by 27 ICU nurses. Finally, an evaluation tool was developed and verified the reliability at c-university hospital located in Kwang-Ju. The results of this was as follows 1) The evaluation tool of this study developed 8 standards, 39 criterias and 106 indicators. The standards were divided into two dimensions. One was process dimension which contained 4 standards(26 criteria), The other was outcome dimension which contained 4 standards(13 criteria). 2) the Average content validity of the tool was 3.39 at standards, 3.55 at criteria and 3.51 at indicators. 3) Interrater reliability of the tool is r=.7993(p<.001) & internal consistency reliability ${\alpha}$ is .6031 4) Scores of NSICU Patients who participated in this study were 57 at total mean score, 58 at process mean score and 56 at outcome mean score The evaluation tool developed in this study seems to be useful in evaluation nursing practice appropriately for the improvement of nursing care in NSICU. I hope that this evaluation tool can be used effectively in NSICU as an intervention for the improvement of quality control.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of braden scale to assess pressure ulcer risk patients and to identify additional risk factors of pressure sores in an neurologic intensive care unit. Method: The subjects of this study were 66 patients in neurologic intensive care units. Data was prospectively collected from Sep. to Dec., 2002. Data were analyzed by mean, percentage, t-test, chi-square, discriminant analysis using Spss pc+. Result: The results of this study were as follows: 1) There was a significant difference between scoring of braden scale and pressure ulcer development. The subscales that predicted pressure ulcer development using braden scale only were sensory perception, moisture, mobility, friction & shear. By using these subscales, sensitivity was 86.7%, and specificity was 61.1%, and total hit ratio was 72.7%. 2) Additional pressure ulcer risk factors which showed significance for discriminating two group were protein, albumin, gender, level of consciousness, pattern of bowel elimination. By using the combination of these additional risk factors in addition to the braden scale, total hit ratio increased to 84.8%. Conclusion: This data suggest that albumin, protein, gender, level of consciousness, pattern of bowel elimination in addition to the braden scale should be included in the pressure sore assessment tool.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the effects of education, using a relocation information guidebook, on the family caregivers of patients who were scheduled to be transferred from a neurosurgical intensive care unit to a general ward. Methods: They were divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 21) and a control group (n = 20). A relocation information guidebook was created based on a literature review and an interview with five family caregivers about how to satisfy their needs. The collected data were analyzed with a ${\chi}^2$ test, Fisher's exact test, paired t-test, and t-test. Results: The effect of education, using the relocation information guidebook, on the family caregivers of patients who were relocated to a general ward from the neurosurgical intensive care unit was not significant for relocation stress (t = 0.94p, = .352) or anxiety (t = 1.25, p = .217), but was significant for education satisfaction (t = -2.50, p = .017). Conclusion: There were no differences in relocation stress and anxiety scores between the control and experimental groups. However, several methodological issues were highlighted that must be considered in future research, including the timing and measurement of transfer anxiety, and the intervention itself.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a delirium prevention intervention for patients in neurology and neurosurgery intensive care units (ICUs). Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study. Participants were 87 patients. The experimental group was provided with nonpharmacologic and multicomponent delirium prevention interventions, consisting of regular delirium assessment, improvement in orientation, early therapeutic intervention, and environmental interventions. The control group was provided with routine intensive care. Data were analyzed using $x^2$ test, Fisher's exact test, and t-test. Results: Both groups were homogeneous. The incidence of delirium and length of hospitalization were significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group. ICU stay, mortality and unplanned extubation were lower in the experimental group compared to the control group, but there was no significant difference. Conclusion: Findings indicate that the delirium prevention intervention is effective in reducing incidence of delirium and length of hospitalization. Therefore, this intervention should be helpful in preventing delirium in neurology and neurosurgery ICUs and can be used as a guide in the prevention of delirium in neurological diseases's patients.

1998년 4월 1일부터 7일까지 1주일간 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 응급의료센터를 방문하는 환자 464명을 대상으로 응급 환자 조사 대장을 작성하여 환자의 일반적인 정보 내용과 현황에 대하여 전향적으로 조사 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 조사 기간중 내원 환자수는 일 평균 66.3명이었으며, 대기 환자수는 평균 17.3명으로 당일 총진료 환자수는 83.6명이었다. 2. 내원 방법은 걸어서 내원한 환자가 57.3%로 가장 많았고, 교통편은 자가용이 58.0%, 구급차가 26.3%였으며, 발생 장소는 거주지가 85.3%로 가장 많았고, 지역별로는 대구 지역이 81.5%였다. 타 병원을 경유하여 내원한 환자는 2.6%, 직접 내원한 환자는 97.4%였다. 3. 내원 원인 분류상 질환이 74.6%로 가장 많았고, 사고 환자가 71명(15.3%)이었으며 이중 교통 사고가 49명(10.6%)을 차지하였다. 4. 진료를 의뢰한 임상과는 내과가 26.6%로 가장 많았고, 다음이 소아과 16.8%, 정형외과 8.6%, 신경과 8.2%, 신경외과 7.8% 순으로 많았으며 응급의학과를 포함한 기타 과는 8.2%를 차지하였다. 5. 진료 결과 입원이 38.4%, 퇴원이 61.0%, 도착시 사망 환차가 0.6%였으며 타 병원으로의 전원은 1례도 없었다. 결론적으로 3차 의료기관의 응급의료센터에서의 진료는 질병 환자 중심의 진료와 당일 진료후 퇴원가능한 경한 환자 중심의 "fast tracking"을 이용한 신속한 진료 및 외상 환자 및 중환자 중심의 진료 등의 다원적인 진료 형태가 요구되며 이러한 진료형태의 개발과 확립이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
